Health Guidelines in Reducing the Spread of Drugs |Smart

Overview

Why Attend

Recently, the need for health guidance has increased to curb the spread of drugs due to the clear rise among various social and economic levels, especially among young people in schools and universities. This is particularly concerning as drug dealers are dedicated to promoting new types of more lethal and addictive drugs, leading to a deadly rate of addiction that contributes to epidemics of diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and cholera. The effects of drugs are clearly visible in communities, as most incidents of kidnapping, theft, fraud, murder, and rape are associated with drug use. The significant impact of chemicals in drugs forces users into a state of pleasure and euphoria, isolating them completely from their daily lives. Therefore, it is crucial to intensify health guidelines to reduce the spread of drugs.

This course offers training courses in health and wellness within professional and educational institutions, providing various health guidelines, including those aimed at reducing drug use, especially for employees in educational institutions, and building the necessary competencies to face these risks.
